Class Leveling

Splitting our youth curriculum into levels ensures that our students are working on appropriate and safe skills for their bodies and minds.

This allows us as coaches to work with students of similar ability and scale, but we do have outliers and listed here you will see our requirements to "level-up" from one class to the next.

It is important to note that the difference in levels is an order of magnitude greater, meaning a student should be at the top percentile of his/her class to start thinking of testing out.

How To Upgrade

Parkour is at its heart, a self guided sport.

You as an athlete are the final say in how much you train, how dedicated you are and to what heights you will rise.

There are two ways to schedule a test out:

Throughout class times coaches will notice when a students are not being challenged by the general flow of class and will "tap" a student to start thinking about testing out.

The student themselves thinks they are ready to test out of class.

After both of these instances the family will need to schedule a test out with one of the head coaches. This test out is a $20 fee, regardless of pass/fail. Below are the physical and skill based requirements for passing through.

In the end the coach will make the decision based on athlete physical ability, skill mastery and mental preparation if the next level is appropriate.

Level Difference

This is our last level of advancement at HUB, and should have a high bar for entering. A student should be showing full mastery over the elements and skills presented within Int, and an ability to CREATE with their movement, eg: autonomously setting up their own advancements, lines and connections. Advanced will also show students the importance of self directed training, so a student entering this level needs to be trusted with the open practice time they work with in this class.

Very strong mental commitment habits

Strong attitude towards becoming elite at their form of parkour
